Aston Villa showed interest in Brennan Johnson, but Crystal Palace was the quickest and most definite in negotiations.

Fraser Fletcher reported that Aston Villa had made contact for Brennan Johnson, though they are expected to be unsuccessful in acquiring him, similar to Bournemouth.

Tottenham are open to letting 24-year-old Brennan Johnson leave as the Wales winger has a lower standing in the team's selection hierarchy. He is a primary target for both Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, and his potential departure is one of several that could help fund Spurs' move for a new left-sided attacker. Johnson, who joined the club in September 2023, is under contract until June 2028 and has made 15 appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring 2 goals. The Welsh international has 42 caps and 7 goals for his country. His current Transfermarkt market value is €35.00m. Recent reports from December 2025 state Tottenham's asking price is around £50 million, with his September 2023 transfer from Nottingham Forest costing a reported €55 million.
